~Megan, who is sometimes a dummy, I know...

"Who the heck is doing this to me... Just stop it!"
"You stop this. Stop fighting. Listen, I spotted a survivor earlier-"
"JUST GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
"You're going to pay for this, Mastermind."

Lauren continued staring at me before she stood up. "Alright, Ashley, why don't we give it a try?" She said.
Several people nodded as they stood up, nudging the people next to them to stand up.
"Okay, so here's how all of this is going to work, okay? I'll go first, and we'll go in a clockwise motion, introducing yourselves. Just your name and a slight introduction is fine." I explained, several people nodding. "My name is Ashley, a proud lesbian by the way."
I turned towards Lauren, and I could see this look on her face that looked very familar. "I can't believe you said that." She said.
"Well, shouldn't everybody at school know? Heck, I think everybody at school knows at this point." I replied, grinning.
Lauren rolled her eyes and introduced herself. "Hello, my name is Lauren, and it's nice seeing all of you guys today." She slightly waved afterwards.
We all went around the table, introducing ourselves. Basically, here are the names:
-Samiksha
-Erin
-Tara
-Katy
-Julie
-Christian
-Sebastian
-Howie
-Camryn
-Patrizia
-Angela
-Morgan
-Darlene
-Montana
That adds up to sixteen people, including me and Lauren.
And yes, this list is totally necessary, for your information.

"Alright, is everyone done?" The hologram appeared again.
Everyone nodded.
"Okay! Then let me introduce myself, I am Monogram, the hologram who's made out of half hope and half despair!"
"Huh...?" A person said, most likely Camryn.
"It's just a long story that you people aren't supposed to know just yet, anyways, blah blah blah, welcome to the island once more, let's just get down to the questions. Does anyone have any? I'd be happy to answer them."
Darlene raised her hand. "How long does this trip last? How many days are we staying here?" She asked.
"Well! That's a very good question, Darlene. This trip will last as long as I want to, which is very much likely to be a very long time. Anyone else?"
Montana raised her hand. "What about supplies? How are we going to be able to survive for so long on this Island?"
"Don't you worry about the supplies, i've got nearly an unlimited supply in the warehouse! We've got a huge budget!" Montana shrugged as Monogram moved onto the next question.
"So what's the point of this field trip anyways? Are we supposed to socialize with one another?" Angela asked a bit quietly, barely audible from where I'm standing.
"If I heard that correctly, the main objective of this field trip is to have fun, a despairingly good time!" Monogram replied, laughing a little.
"Despairingly? What..." Morgan muttered.
Howie raised his hand. "What if we need to leave the island? What do we need to do?"
Monogram started smirking. "I figured one of you people would ask that question. The thing is, getting out of here is not going to be an easy job at all." He said.
"What do you mean by that?" Katy asked.
"You want me to explain the procedure to getting out of this place? Well, if you're already tired of being here and you want to get out, I'm going to force all of you to kill each other!" Monogram said as he laughed evilly.
Everybody gasped. "You're kidding right?" Patrizia asked.
"Nope! Not at all! You're going to have to kill each other if you want to get out of this place! But i'm still not done explaining everything yet!"
Everyone was silent, but looking at each other worriedly.
"If someone finds a dead body around, we hold a trial for that person! All of you must find evidence around the island for a limited amount of time! Then all of you need to figure out who's the murderer! If you find out who the murderer was, the murderer gets executed in a nice fashion that i've especially prepared for them beforehand! Everyone has a special execution by the way, but if you guess wrong, everyone but the murderer gets executed! Then the murderer gets to leave the island! And there we go!" Monogram explained.
"What the actual.. hell..." I said out loud.
"Do you have a problem, Ashley?" Monogram said, raising an eyebrow.
I stayed silent and let Monogram continue talking.
"I thought so. Now, I have a complete set of rules. If you manage to break a multiple then, I have a very special punishment prepared if you do! Am I clear on that?" Monogram explained.
"Good. Lastly, I have special devices for all of you that are placed in your huts. They contain all of the rules, plus, whenever a murder comes by, a file will be sent to the device on any information on the crime scene. Right now, since i'm in such a joyful mood, i'm not going to pressure some motives for murder at this time. But, if it starts getting a bit boring up in here, i'm going to have to place some special motives to make you guys kill each other! Now, let's give it all we got! Hopefully you guys are still enjoying you're stay here!" Monogram said evilly, disappearing in a flash.
An awkward silence loomed over all of us. We had no idea what to do.
Not to mention the gang's all here and we're most likely to die together.
